This is an awfully broad statement. Personally I have been fighting fairly non stop since yesterday morning and I still have not even gotten a Lost relic weapon on my lvl 44. One day is not nearly enough time for pretty much every pirate to get the weapon that they want.

(Stalactites always match stalagmites in the real world.) Infinitely better quests, that actually made some sense and introduced every island, every NPC.

Getting rid of all of the stupid invincibilty glitches has leveled the playing feild so that only a handful of people are able to exploit these CHEATS that should not be a part of the game. The same old quests are still there, just not many good new ones.

This one I'll agree with.

Really? This is worth complaining about? I've never had a problem reading any of the chat colors and I spend most of my time in the Thrall room.

Adding new weapons has subjected basic members to severe punishment? (Webster's definition of castigate) Don't you think it might just be more encouragement to pay for the game that we play.


All of this stuff that they have been doing lately I see as a prelude to the next story. They gave us all of these weapons so that we will be able to take on the high level enemies that are bound to be on their way. Mini-games are not necessarily a bad idea. Geared to younger kids? Of course! The entire game is geared to younger kids. I enjoy this game for it's simplicity. If I wanted a wildly complicated game I would play WoW. I like to be able to just sit back and hang out every now and again. Just because a few people have found El Patron's sword doesn't mean that the world is coming to an end.

You want them to add storms (a weather effect) they added fog (a weather effect). Not necessarily the one you wanted but an effect nonetheless. Improvements are being made.

I generally don't have lag issues but I know some people do, so I won't comment on any of your lag complaints, but I will say that my game freezes about as much as it did when I started playing a couple of years ago.

I like these new updates and I am curious to see where Disney takes it. I look forward to whatever is coming next. (Even if it is not the Kraken)
